Google formerly co-developed flagship Android devices with original equipment manufacturers through the Nexus program. They were designed to be "reference" devices for the Android platform, but the devices kept similarities to other devices produced by their respective partners.The former president of Motorola, Rick Osterloh, joined Google as its senior vice president of hardware in April 2016, and Google initiated development of an ecosystem of in-house products and platforms, including Google Assistant intelligent personal assistant, the Google Home smart speaker, and Google Daydream, Google's new virtual reality platform built for Android Nougat.In an interview with The Verge, Osterloh stated that "a lot of the innovation that we want to do now ends up requiring controlling the end-to-end user experience". The Verge put in writing that the Nexus program had "fulfilled its mission", with a Google spokesperson expressing that there are "no plans" to make another Nexus device. The Pixel was designed by and is marketed as being a Google product; despite the company used HTC as a contract manufacturer, Google has said that the Pixels are not based on any existing HTC device.In addition, Huawei has been offered the contract to manufacture the devices, but after Google refused to dual-brand the phone with credit to the manufacturer, Huawei did not accept the offer.The Google Pixels SmartphonesIntroduced in February 2013, Google Pixel is a line of consumer electronic devices from Google that run either the Android operating system or the Chrome OS. The Pixel line includes smartphones and laptops, along with the Pixel C tablet. All These devices can be purchased through the Google Store or at retail stores.The first generation Pixel smartphones, the Pixel and the Pixel XL, were announced by Google on October 4, 2016 during the #MadeByGoogle event and serve as Google's launch devices for Android 7.1 "Nougat".Google gives special importance of the camera on the two phones, which ranked as the best smartphone camera on DxOMarkMobile. This is largely due to software optimizations such as HDR+; the devices scored 90 points until HTC released the U11, which also rated the same. The Pixel phones also have an unlockable bootloader and unlimited cloud storage for pictures on Google PhotosThere were mixed reviews written about the Pixels. They were called "the best Android phones you can buy" and received commendations for camera quality and performance. However, they were criticised for their high costs and lack of waterproofing, and some critics observed design similarities to Apple's iPhone.There are variety of issues thrown at the Pixels after release, including excessive optical lens flare in pictures captured through the rear camera, unstable Bluetooth connections, connectivity issues with some mobile data bands, failing microphones, and unexpected battery shutdowns. Google has noted and acknowledged the issues and released necessary fixes for most of the problems.In the United Kingdom, the devices can be bought direct-to-consumer via Google's online store, and through EE, and Carphone Warehouse. For consumers in the United States, Pixel is exclusive to Project Fi and Verizon Wireless but also available direct-to-consumer via Google's online store or from Best Buy. In India, you can get the devices through preorder from October 13 from Reliance Digita, Flipkart, and Cromā, with general store availability on October 25.
